Avanti Maroon, Black interior, 31K original miles, it is near perfect original.
I bought it from the daughter-in-law of the original owner who owned the
Studebaker dealership in Pittsburgh (Langer Brothers). They were Charter
members of AOA.

My seller loaded the remains of R-5516 (wrecked in '65) along with a
bunch of NOS spares in two containers. The parts were trucked to Waterford where
they were loaded on a small container ship to Hamburg. There they were loaded
for Baltimore. Paul Johnson / Harpers Ferry, WV Oct 2005
